Yep. Zero rust restoration and no engine pulling in three owners (including myself). Prior to me owning the car, above general maintenance there was a sunroof installed, crappy repaint (no body work), and the exhaust manifold was replaced due to being cracked. Otherwise everything else is original.
Im sure cars are better here compared to your area, but you said you had never seen older cars in good stock condition. Just saying there are plenty around. You take car of your car and the car will take care of you.
You may also want to take a look at a video I posted where two Chevys built 50yrs apart crashed into each other at 40mph. Older car demolished. Newer car fine comparatively. Im not a fan of too many newer cars (I dont ever plan on owning any of them), but the technology is pretty impressive. For safety reasons, I would want to be in a newer car hands down for any crash above like 15mph.
